“I don’t know what the media does because my son is always into some type of drama,” Mom told me. “Ma, you remember Tripp,” I said, planting a kiss on her forehead. “Tripp, do you worry your mother the way Kash worries me?” she asked, turning her back to head inside the house. He exchanged a smile with her, then shook his head. “No, ma’am,” Tripp said. “He’s lying, Ma,” I said. I shoved him in the arm, and he play boxed with me. “Anyone hungry?” Mom asked as she sauntered off to the kitchen. I rubbed my stomach “No, we just ate.” “Tell me about this woman, Kamden,” she demanded. I groaned, not in the mood to have another conversation about my love life. “The only woman I’m worried about is you,” I replied. “Josie called me,” Mom said as she pulled the cookies out of the oven.
